      Hi
      Have P4 3 ghz
      4 Gb ram
      SATA HDD
      IDE DVD burner
      PCIE grafic card.
      2 Intel Gb Pci nic.

      Booting from live cd, setting up nic, and then type 99 for hdd install.
      Install run with no problem.
      At first boot from HDD I see:

      F1 pfsense
      F6 PXE
      Boot: F1
      \

      The \ have _ blinking under it.

      Pc is now "locked"  no furter booting and no activity on HDD.

      Any ideas what is wrong ?

      The live cd is running perfect, with acces to all funktions and remote via webconfigurator.

      /Brian

        Some of those early SATA controllers can be problematic especially if it's using some separate chip.
        Try the suggestions here: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Boot_Troubleshooting#BIOS.2FDisk_Errors

          Hello Again.

          I´m up running Thank you for help.

          It was the partitions size making the problem. Setting " /swap to 8 "      " / to 4 Gigabyte " added a new " /usr " on rest of the disk.
          Will pfsense use the /usr partition or is it waste now ?

          Either the packet or LBA adjustments have any effects.

          /Brian
